Lai Jinlan had heard that Zhang Jisheng’s ex-wife was a pushover, but she didn’t expect her to be so quick with her words. Hearing her biting sarcasm, she found herself unable to retort.
She swallowed and said, "Don’t act like you’re so noble. If you didn’t have wandering thoughts, would Zhang Jisheng have ended up like that?"
"He’s shaless, but I still have my pride. Who’s getting cozy with him? I was married to him for over ten years, working hard without complaint—what did I get for it? That swamp of a Zhang family, I climbed out, and there’s no way I’m stepping back in. Do you think the Zhang family is a goldmine, that Zhang Jisheng is a golden lump that everyone is after? I eat well, live well, sleep soundly, with a son and a daughter—why would I be eager to return to that swamp?" Qi Fenglian sneered, "If you want to jump in, I’m not stopping you. Do as you please, but don’t drag into it."
Lai Jinlan was stunned.
"Please leave. I’m about to start working, and if you continue to make a scene, I’ll report you to the authorities for intentionally causing trouble!" Qi Fenglian said coldly.
Hearing the threat of the police, Lai Jinlan’s overweight body shrank with fear.
Cheng Su’s lips curled slightly as she looked at her Sister-in-law with approval for the first ti.
This is what a woman should be like—clear-headed at crucial monts. You shouldn’t rely on others whenever sothing happens. Relying on yourself is more reliable than depending on anyone else.
Soone rushed in and grabbed Lai Jinlan: "You, co back with !"
Everyone looked, and who else could it be but Zhang Jisheng?
No one knew how long he had been listening at the door or how long he had been waiting. He looked utterly embarrassed and humiliated, not daring to look at Cheng Su and Qi Fenglian.
"You’re just in ti." Qi Fenglian said to Zhang Jisheng as soon as she saw him, "Let’s clear things up face-to-face in front of your wife."
Zhang Jisheng’s expression was complex. He moved his lips but said nothing.
"You and I are done. Don’t bring up getting back together again. I won’t reconcile with you. I’ll take good care of the kids. You have a new family now and a child on the way. Your family should live well. Don’t bother us again." Qi Fenglian said with a heavy voice.
Lai Jinlan looked at her strong and resolute attitude, then at Zhang Jisheng, who seed to want to shrink his head into his chest, feeling a surge of anger.
"Are you mute? Say sothing!" she slapped Zhang Jisheng’s head. The others had already made their stance clear. What else did he want—did he really want to remarry? What would happen to her and their child then?
"What else is there to say? Aren’t you ashad enough? Hurry up and leave with !" Zhang Jisheng exerted himself to drag her away.
Lai Jinlan suddenly felt furious. Perhaps Qi Fenglian was right: the Zhang family is not a goldmine, and Zhang Jisheng is not a golden lump. Who would want him in this sorry state?
"Look at you, coward!" She pushed him away in rage and stord off.
Zhang Jisheng stood there, unable to lift his head. Seeing this, Qi Fenglian couldn’t hold back a cold laugh and returned to sit behind the counter.
Zhang Jisheng wanted to say sothing but realized he had nothing to say. Biting his lip, he left too.
Cheng Su had enjoyed the show, and although it was much ado about nothing, she was very satisfied.
She was pleased that Qi Fenglian could finally stand up for herself and solve problems rather than always relying on others to shield her.
If she could continue like this, she would beco stronger. After all, a mother becos strong for her children.
Turning around, she saw Qi Fenglian silently crying, tears streaming down her face. Cheng Su sighed and walked over to pat her shoulder.
